    Epidemiological validation of a Malay version of the Child Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ11-14) in Brunei Haji Amirul Rizan Bin Haji Mohamed A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Community Dentistry Faculty of Dentistry The University Of Otago March 2011 ABSTRACT Background Oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) instruments are being used with increasing frequency in oral health surveys. One such instrument is the Child Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ11-14), developed in Toronto as a measure of OHRQoL specifically for 11-to-14-year-old children (Jokovic et al, 2002). It aims to improve the description of children's oral health, while taking into consideration the importance of psychological aspects in the concept of health. As the original version of this questionnaire was considered long (37 items), shorter forms were developed with 8 and 16 items to facilitate its use in the clinical settings and population-based oral health surveys (Jokovic et al, 2006). The developers of the CPQ11-14 have determined the psychometric properties of the long-form and the short-forms CPQ11-14 to be satisfactory, but state that these measures must be validated and employed in other cultures, involving clinical and population-based samples of children and adolescents in different countries. The short-form measure has been tested and validated in a representative population sample of schoolchildren in New Zealand (Foster Page et al, 2008). On the other hand, the long-form CPQ11-14 has been shown to be valid and reliable in a number of different countries including Canada, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Uganda, Saudi Arabia, Australia, Brazil, Hong Kong and Denmark.

    Diet and Physical Activity Environments in Primary Schools in Brunei Darussalam Siti Rohaiza Ahmad Bsc (Nutrition), Msc (BIOTECH)

    Diet and Physical Activity Environments in Primary Schools in Brunei Darussalam Siti Rohaiza Ahmad BSc (Nutrition), MSc (BIOTECH) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2016 School of Public Health Abstract The challenges in trying to achieve population-level lifestyle changes have seen researchers and policymakers shift towards a focus on environmental improvements to support health-related behaviours. School environments are dynamic food and policy environments that have the capacity to change both the risks and protective factors for healthy eating and physical activity in children. The essential focus of this thesis has been to explore childhood-obesity prevention policies at a country level, and to explore the increasing problem of obesogenicity in primary school settings in Brunei Darussalam. To achieve this, three methods were adopted: a policy analysis of nutrition and physical activity initiatives, targeting the prevention of obesity in primary school settings among children aged 8 to 11 years old in Brunei, Malaysia and Singapore; case studies in five primary school settings; and a stakeholder analysis, providing insight into the perspectives of those with an interest in children‘s health, including policymakers, teachers, school administrators, and the children themselves. The key research findings are that the Brunei Darussalam‘s childhood-obesity prevention response can be strengthened by increasing the attention to upstream approaches, using school settings and school neighbourhoods, and that school community members including school administrators and teachers can play an important role in contributing to the obesity-prevention programs in the school settings, but are currently under resourced to play this role.
